Game number four today.

Concur.

How long did it take young guys like Withers or Hape to come into their own? When both started, the comments were "looks sort of OK, but nothing startling" IIRC? Remind me again how they turned out?

Powder needs keeping dry for a while yet guys, I suggest?

Get a grip. You're upset because he doesn't get 50 metres per penalty, but Deacon was accused of exactly the same.

He's improving game on game and costs a quarter of what Orford did. A much more effective use of money is to try an untested Aussie (or 3) until you find the right one. If he doesn't improve he's on a one year contract.

Another "struggling" half back to move to Super League from Canberra was Michael Dobson. You do the math.

Poor in the NRL, poor in the Pre season, poor when it matters. A poor half back.

Come on Mick at least give the lad a chance.

You can't stop an idiot when he's made up his mind.

Actually, on reflection I hope we DID get a receipt for Herbert.

Because I have a feeling that, in due course, we may be able to take great delight in pinning it to the wall and showing the world what a good piece of business we did.

And even if not...well Mr "feebleweasel" talks a whole lot of total sense above.

for me like ive said before if briggs and him play he will be alot better. hes struggling on his own and kearney isnt a stand off although hes played well there he isnt a recognised half back unlike briggs. Briggs also kicks further than 10 yards

He'll get plenty Mick, but he's poor. It's there for all to see.

Give the lad a chance. The team is changing every week at the moment so thats not going to help him. Briggs with him in the halfs like ive said before would improve him

Why dont we give every other poor half back in the world whilst we are at it then yeah?
